Rankings
ETH Zurich ranks as one of the best universities in the world and is one of the leading universities in continental Europe. A differentiated view is provided by the rankings according to specialist areas.
Note: University rankings are a consequence of the globalisation of tertiary education and provide a useful basis for decision-making. However, they vary greatly in their methods and focus and how they define specialist areas, and so should be interpreted with caution when assessing the quality of a university.
